History Characters / SmallvilleClarksAllies

* KickTheSonOfABitch: His murder of Lex after Lex threatens to nuke Metropolis. He feels incredibly guilty about it and people scold him, but given how much of a twisted sociopath and would-be mass-murderer Lex had become, it's easy to see why he did it.

* ParentalAbandonment: His mom and dad died in a plane crash when he was very young. Guilt about it has left him very bitter.

* BadassCrew: Let's see--we got the [[ComicBook/TheFlash Fastest Man Alive]], an ActionGirl with a [[MakeMeWannaShout sonic scream]], a {{Cyborg}} with SuperStrength, and the King of the Seas. All led by the biggest BadassNormal in the show, with the occasional assist from ComicBook/{{Superman}} and [[ComicBook/MartianManhunter Mars' Last Survivor]].

* MakeMeWannaShout: She can even make Clark's ears bleed.

[[folder: Ted Kord]]

* ArcherArchetype: Commonly fights with a bow and arrow.

!![[ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders Outsiders]] - Jefferson Pierce / Black Lightning, Grace Choi, Rex Mason / Metamorpho, Tatsu Yamashiro / Katana and Roy Harper

* RemakeCameo: Reeves played Superman in the 1978 film ''Film/SupermanTheMovie'' and in [[Film/SupermanII it's]] [[Film/SupermanIII three]] [[Film/SupermanIVTheQuestForPeace sequels]].

Smallville's sherrif.

A doctor and surgeon at Metropolis General Hospital, Emil is kept on retainer by Oliver Queen beginning in Season 8; as Green Arrow's inside man, his job is to look the other way when a [[Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica member of the team]] comes in with bullet wounds or even weirder injuries. Emil's role quickly evolves, however, and he becomes the team's tech-guy, biologist, coroner, and confidant all rolled into one. He's been to Watchtower, examined Doomsday's blood, and whipped up cures for [[EverythingsDeaderWithZombies zombie]] [[TheVirus viruses]], among other things. All in a days work for a SuperHero's MD.

* SecretKeeper: For the entire Franchise/{{Justice League|of America}}. He keeps it in the face of a VRA interrogation to boot.

--->'''Doctor Fate''': (''to Clark'') [[TheReveal And when you show yourself to the world]]...[[Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica it will be a different age than]] [[ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica ours]], Clark. A [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks silver age of heroism]]...that will start when they look up into the sky at you with [[HopeSpringsEternal hope for tomorrow]]. [[TheParagon You will help everyone to embrace it]].

!!Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica

A team assembled by Oliver Queen in Season 6 with the intent of taking down [=LuthorCorp=]'s Level 33.1, the Franchise/{{Justice League|of America}} has gone through many goals and a constantly rotating membership ever since. Simultaneously an elite strike team and a RagtagBunchOfMisfits, the as-yet-unnamed League has handled everything from {{Corrupt Corporate Executive}}s to {{alien invasion}}s, all while doing their best to stay under the radar.

* BadassCrew: Let's see--we got the [[Franchise/TheFlash Fastest Man Alive]], an ActionGirl with a [[MakeMeWannaShout sonic scream]], a {{Cyborg}} with SuperStrength, and the King of the Seas. All led by the biggest BadassNormal in the show, with the occasional assist from Franchise/{{Superman}} and [[ComicBook/MartianManhunter Mars' Last Survivor]].

First arriving in Metropolis in Season 6, Oliver dated ComicBook/LoisLane and clashed with Clark over whether a pro-active or reactive approach was the best way to deal with crime. Frustrated with Clark's HeroicNeutral tendencies, Oliver gathered the proto-Franchise/{{Justice League|of America}} in an effort to shut down his old classmate ComicBook/LexLuthor's Level 33.1 laboratories, eventually leaving Smallville (and Lois) to fight [=LuthorCorp=] all over the world.

* {{Expy}}: There are some sharp similarities between his characterization and relationship with Clark, and that of Franchise/{{Batman}}. Throw in the fact that ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy'' likely meant the writers couldn't use Bruce, and that makes a lot of sense all of a sudden.

* InSpiteOfANail: Despite many differences between himself and his counterpart from ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' in terms of background and personality, they have lived very similar lives to each other in comparison to the comic book version. Both were [[Main/TheCowl cynical powerless vigilantes]] who were good friends with [[Main/TheCape a more optimistic superhero with powers]], ended up in relationships with women who acted as mission control to their teams as opposed to their comic book love interest Black Canary, and eventually each had a child with their respective wives with neither one being Connor Hawke who is his son in the comics. Also unlike in the comics they essentially replace [[Franchise/{{Batman}} a more famous superhero]] in their respective universes, with it later being revealed that said hero had already established himself and been active for years.

* TheLancer: Started out as TheLeader to the Franchise/{{Justice League|of America}}, but rapidly shaped up to be this to Clark.

!![[Franchise/TheFlash Bart Allen / Impulse]]

A former thief gifted with SuperSpeed, Bart first met Clark when he saved Jonathan Kent from being hit by a car...only to immediately pick his pocket. After a rough beginning, he and Clark became friends, and Bart left town looking for other people like themselves. He later returned as a member of the Franchise/{{Justice League|of America}} and has been a key member ever since, able to respond to crises moments after they begin.

The last survivor of the extinct Martian race, J'onn J'onnz was a former intergalactic police officer, tasked with pursuing PhantomZone criminals. A friend of Clark's biological father Jor-El, he was asked to watch over Kal-El after his arrival on Earth. First appearing in Season 6 as a guardian figure during Clark's battles with the Zoners, J'onn is [[DePower depowered]] in the Season 8 premiere "Odyssey" after saving Clark's life, and takes on the identity of police detective John Jones. He serves as Clark and Oliver's contact inside the Metropolis PD; eventually regaining his powers thanks to Doctor Fate, he now works with the Franchise/{{Justice League|of America}} on an ongoing basis.
